1Per curiam

This case involves an important question-of statutory interpretation of state law that Louisiana courts have yet to resolve. Because of the impact that the question of statutory exemptions under Louisiana law will have on both state court and bankruptcy proceedings, we have determined that the preferred course is to certify the central question in this case to the Supreme Court of Louisiana, according to the privilege granted by Rule XII of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Louisiana.
